**FREE** Workshops from Home Depot

Are you crafty? Ready to learn how to fix things on your own? Got your own tools?

I saw this advertised in my local Home Depot store and thought it sounded like a great idea. Women learning how to fix things around the house!

Home Depot has been having these Do-It-Herself workshops for a while now. They are offered once a month (I believe), and they are **FREE!**

I know several girls that have attended them and enjoyed them, ALONG with learning how to do projects around their homes.

Just click on the image above to learn more about the upcoming Do-It-Herself workshop coming to a Home Depot near you!

Well, I wouldn't have believed it if the other girls hadn't told me about it, but it's absolutely true.

If you want **FREE** samples of name-brand grocery and drug-store items, then click on the picture above and sign up for Vocalpoint!

Not only do they send you great samples (without even asking sometimes), they will also include a handful of coupons in the package, and at least one of those coupons is going to be a freebie!

**FREE** Family Safety from Microsoft

With the internet exploding these days like never before, our family's safety can sometimes come into play.

Thank goodness Microsoft has come up with a new program to help protect us all from the dangers of the Internet.

It is called Family Safety, and you can go HERE to check it out and download it for your computer for **FREE!**

"With Family Safety, you decide how your kids experience the Internet. Limit searches, monitor and block or allow websites, and decide who your kids can communicate with in Windows Live Spaces, Messenger, or Hotmail."

"The Family Safety Filter must be installed on each computer your children use. If the Filter is not installed, the safety settings cannot be enforced."

I know that, for me personally, with a teenager in the house, I will be downloading and using this new program from Microsoft!

**FREE** Coffee from Pilot Travel Centers or Food Marts

Go HERE to become a fan of Pilot Travel Centers on facebook, and you can print out a coupon good for one, 16 oz. coffee, cappuccino, hot chocolate, or hot tea.

There is no limit on the number of coupons you can print; however, the fine print does say one coupon per customer.

This would be a good coupon to stock up on for your travels now through February 28th!

*Thanks Money Saving Mom!

More Disney Movie Reward Points

Hi Disney Movie Rewards Club Members!

I've got MORE points for you! The fun isn't over quite yet! I've been holding off posting this because Disney's servers are completely overwhelmed from the, "Give a Day, Get a Day" program they are running (and that started yesterday).

If you don't know about this project, go HERE to learn more. They are "only" giving away 1 million tickets, and with the way things are going, rumors are flying around the web on just how fast they will reach that mark!

(Just for the record, Disney has blogged they won't reach it this weekend.)

But, if you would like to try your had at logging in at Disney's Movie Reward club and getting your bonus points, go HERE to try and then enter in the word, "CELEBRATE." You should see your 50 bonus points show up immediately.

Good luck, and let me know if you made it "in!"

Ronda Rich is Coming to Atlanta Again!

I don't normally "blog" about these types of things, but I thought this might be the best way to get word out to everyone.

One of my favorite authors and speakers is coming back to Atlanta. Of course, I say "coming back" loosely because Ronda Rich is actually from North Georgia to begin with!

If you have never seen Ronda in person, you are really missing out. She is a delightful person and wonderful speaker!

From the first time I saw her speak, I knew I was hooked. My best friend, Kay, and I drove up to Gainesville (Georgia) to hear Ronda speak on her days in Nascar. (Ronda used to work PR with some of Nascar's biggest names and drivers "back in the day," when racing was racing!)

Today, she no longer works in the sporting field, but she is an accomplished author and newspaper columnist. Her work is driven by her day-to-day experiences and her strong faith in God, and her writings are most-decidedly based on her Southern upbringing!




Here is the information on her upcoming speaking arrangement. I know I'm going to be making my reservation very soon. (I love when these events throw in a **FREE** lunch afterward!) How about you?

Have you resolved to make 2010 a year to grow your Faith and your relationship with God? Is this the year for you to make new friends or to spend time nurturing friendships you already have? Then grab a friend, your sister or your mom and

We’ll be asking in a world where it seems only the loudest are heard, where only the biggest are noticed, have you ever wondered, “What does my Faith matter? How does my Belief make a difference in the world?”

The program will be led by syndicated columnist and author Ronda Rich, as she discusses the lessons revealed in her most recent book “What Southern Women Know about Faith.” Join us as Ronda dives into God’s Word, shares stories from her book and discusses the importance of Simple Faith in Complicated Times, relaying captivating stories of Southern women who have survived through faith when faith was sometimes all they had going for them.

There will be large group discussion, as well as small-group break-out programming.
A Swan House Menu Luncheon follows.
